You can design it yourself as you like. Choose the color of the bungee cords yourself, you can also use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.Add a magnetic base in half or full length.Build a second level underneath with our MUSTMIT or DARFRAUS or sew one yourself. More is on the way ... 🚐💨 Secure storage space While driving, the sturdy sides secure deposited items. Thanks to the front flap, everything remains accessible, even when the roof is closed. The front folds up.   As a roof box and storage space under the pop-up roof for a book, fruit, earrings, sunglasses ... there's still room for more! With extra hanging options For some, just a few mountain peaks, others associate them with the dunes from their last visit to the beach. But they are simply practical: There are 3 additional hooks on the front for hanging tea towels, oven mitts and the like. You can position the hooks either on the left or right. There is an additional hook on each side. Extra hooks on the front and both sides   Made for California The shelf that fits snugly against the VW California panel profile only protrudes 127 mm into the interior.The remaining 58 mm extend into the window frame. The lighting remains unobstructed. The timeless, curved aluminum front at the leading edge not only prevents injuries.It also, together with the real wood front cover, matches the interior design of the California and Multivan.  Configure your Calishelf There's still more. At the bottom, the system base with three cross-strung rubber cords provides extra space for kitchen utensils, chalk bags (great for cutlery too!), and more. 5 elongated holes in the system base for expansions   At the front, bottom, left, and right, there is plenty of space on the rubber bands for your camping utensils. Attach where you want, always secure!

(illustration still with the previous series) What's possible for you? Optionally magnetic. The system base is made of birch plywood. Optional floor plates in half the width of the shelf each expand the possibilities for e.g. the Silwy range or magnetic fastenings. This allows you to easily and quickly add further hanging options for towels, pot holders, and more with the magnetic hooks ZIEHAN available as accessories. Now it's getting colorful. Bungee cords in various colors are available for the tie-downs.For the rubber cords, we give you the choice of color in 50-centimeter pieces. Choose your favorite color, e.g. matching the paintwork of your Bulli. You'll get along well with a total of 1.5 meters / 3 pieces if you only want to tension the floor.With 2 meters / 4 pieces, it's enough for an extra round, e.g. in the middle of the shelf, for separation, e.g. rear spices and front vegetables, and with 3 meters / 6 pieces, you'll be all-around happy and have room for a few extra loops. Mounting in the VW California pop-up roof You can attach your complete shelf to the VANRAIL base profile for the roof with two screws.If you already have another mounting option, e.g. an airline rail, you can also attach the DIY shelf kit to it. In this case, the two attachment points may need to be slightly enlarged. The additions shown in the gallery and items in the shelf - fruit, cups, glasses, kitchen paper ... - are not included in the scope of delivery. The shelf parts are delivered disassembled. The illustrations are similar, subject to change and errors.

VW California Beach roof cabinet with 73 liters volume under the pop-up roof
Roof Cabinet for VW California Beach
You need more storage space in the VW California Beach? The roof cabinet EINFACH complements the first solution without drilling in the rear of your VW bus.Bonus of the fabric cabinet for with-the head-in-the-rear sleepers - the head remains dent-free, if getting up happens too fast ;)  Gladly bigger! In your compartment under the roof fit the towels for the vacation, pillows that otherwise fly around in the trunk, the extra pair of shoes that otherwise stays at home, hats for all weather conditions, clothes, blankets, ... shortly all that is too bulky for window pockets and otherwise disappears in the shallows of the rear. The extra pocket at the front stick holds you e.g. the flashlight for the night hike ready. No searching for the lamp, just take it out and off you go. The fabric cabinet for the bus canopy measures 113 x 50 x 16 centimeters (W x D x H). Approximately 73 liters brings EINFACH under your VW California Beach roof. Quite simply You don't have to drill any holes in the bus to hang the overhead locker underneath the pop-up roof in your VW California Beach T5, T6 and T6.1. EINFACH is attached to the VANZEIT® VANRAIL system profiles by plug-and-camp. The VANRAIL itself is simply plugged in - once on the left and once on the right - underneath the roof and is included with EINFACH. The roof cabinet is then screwed onto both VANRAILs. Is easy-peasy fastened, holds on the road and also off; camping-proven and off-road-proven. Quite easily The strong outdoor bus fabric is washable and the entire roof cabinet weighs just under three kilograms. This saves fuel and the vehicle's center of gravity remains low. You have more in your vacation budget and the environment is happy. The inside of the sturdy fabric is coated and wipeable. The cover can be washed individually at 30 degrees. Try this once with another roof storage box ;) Fully stable. You can see the stable ribbing with sail battens on the floor in the first picture. After removing the slats lengthwise or crosswise, the fabric wardrobe can be compactly rolled up for storage. Are you still stuffing or are you already sorting? Add the Q-BUS packing cubes inside the fabric overhead cabinet and towels, bath towels, underwear, ... all the stuff sorts itself out in the packing system.You have more time for camping. But stuffing is also okay ;) Whether stuffing or sorting: The removable front you can open left, right or on both sides at the same time on the tightly closing stainless steel latches. So you can always easily get to your camping utensils. Even when the front is removed, the contents of the fabric cabinet remain secured behind the bar on the base body to prevent them from slipping out. P.S. Of course, our shelving systems, e.g. DAGEHTNOCHWAS, fit in front of the shelf and provide you with additional storage space for your camping accessories. P.P.S. Of course, window bags also fit in the rear windows.

Detailed Product Description, Manual and Properties

The VANZEIT ® Difference?

We think different.

Instead of average, with us, you get creative, practical, and durable setups from original ideas.

Our own camping experience is reflected in the attention to detail – and you’ll feel it in every use.

Trust in expertise for your relaxed VANZEIT ®!

 
🕐 New Product Ideas

A missing coat hook in our first California led to my invention of the well-known hooks for the pop-up roof, our ABHÄNG.

Why drill into your bus? From my incomprehension of this and the limited headroom under the market roof cabinets, our EINFACH was born.

Every idea matures between my own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.

🕑 Thoughtful Product Design

Initial sketches turn into prototypes made of cardboard.

Once I'm convinced, I construct it using CAD, based on the already specific dimensions.

The design is then implemented and tested with 3D printing, on the sewing machine, or in the workshop.

In the refinement process, I remove unnecessary parts from the design.

🕒Tested in Camping Life

Nicole and I take new accessories on tour directly with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).

Is a contour not perfect, or is a feature not used while camping?

If so, it gets adjusted and tested again. And possibly again...

Only what convinces us over a season and proves its value gets produced.

🕓 Made in Northern Germany

We found our production partners within a few kilometers of us.

This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements by handshake.

Small series' production ensures fast adjustments, even with your suggestions.

🕔 Ensures More Freedom

Focusing on the essentials gives you more space.

Less ballast means less fuel consumption. You go further.

Simple designs integrate timelessly into your individual setup.

Organization with a system relaxes. Stuffing was yesterday, today you can safely stow your equipment - and find it again tomorrow.

The all-in-one profile:

Clothes hooks, clothes rail, wardrobe, shelf, rack, key rail, kitchen utensil holder, magnetic strip, ... up to the overhead cabinet ... it all fits, fits always, and looks good while doing it.

Checked Off ✔️

Hooks for jackets, hooks for the base cap, hooks for the backpack, hooks for Sunnersta, ... it's like with shrimp and Forrest Gump. With the unimaginative ones on Etsy and elsewhere, you can find them all. Few hold, most look like they are, and - "strangely" - they all look the same.

Now you can surf, research, compare, ... and waste your time to find the best for you.

It's the same sauce.

"Yes, but my idea doesn't fit there anyway."

Why isn't there just a single way for me to attach what I like?

You've found it.

The one to hold them all

I've tried it all...

Airline tracks, C-tracks, rack tracks, sliding tracks, groove profiles up and down...

Both in appearance - aluminum silver, anodized - and in function, this profile has proven itself in our camping for years. You might already know it from its use in my simple roof cabinet for hanging under the pop-up roof.

The lightweight profile is made of aluminum, has a 6mm groove, and allows mounting with normal machine screws along its entire length (590 mm). It accommodates M3, M4, M5, and M6 threads.
You simply insert a T-slot nut of your choice into the profile where you want it and tighten your accessory with a screw.

It's as simple as that.

Machine

What? Machine?

Yes, that's an unbeatable advantage.

In times of half-blind and brain-dead post-turtles ( aka politicians in Germany ), where inflation outside the statistical basket knows no bounds, and procurement only knows red lines...

... having a standardized part from mechanical engineering that remains available for the foreseeable future is a dream.

And there's no need for a "fact check":
In mechanical engineering internationally proven for decades - this part holds. Rock solid.

Up to the Roof

Under the pop-up roof, the VANRAIL system profile finds secure support on the proven profiles of my "old Swede."

2mm stainless steel even supports a full-grown pull-up in the sliding door.

Someone is hanging!
Look who's hanging there...

Two profiles (1x base and 1x extension) fit next to each other on each side, giving you the full available width below the headliner for mounting. A connector joins them simply.

At VANZEIT ®, of course

Of course, the VANRAILs fit on both the driver's side and the passenger's side.

To protect the bed frame and the interior of your VW California, the backs of the two attachments in the pop-up roof are felted.

The roof can, of course, be closed with the rail mounted.
